Workshop: Super Smash Bros bot tournament

Workshop: Super Smash Bros bot tournament

From Code for Sydney
4.7

This month we are running a workshop into creating bots for the computer game Super Smash Bros Melee. We can then face our bots off against each other in a kockout tournament to see who has built the ultimate agentic fighter! The framework we will be using is based off of the Dolphin Nintendo Gamecube emulator and the Libmelee Python library. Feel free to clone and start playing with it now, or we will be running through installing the dependencies and getting up to speed on the day. https://github.com/Code-for-Sydney/smash-for-sydney What will you do? \- hand craft a bot to use Jigglypuff's powers to her full potential? \- write a bot that randomly smashes buttons? \- port the SmashBot code over to this framework? \- get an LLM to write a bot from your natural language instructions? PR's to improve the framework are also very welcome as it is is very bare bones right now. Also please do join the discussion on Discord [https://discord.gg/wPmp25Xnm5](https://discord.gg/wPmp25Xnm5) Code for Sydney is a collaborative coding club where tech meets real-world impact. We gather to solve meaningful problems, experiment with code and explore the possibilities of AI. Join us to learn, build and connect with Sydney's tech community! Networking with fellow software engineers, designers and student/s welcome! If anyone would like to present a quick talk or propose a project idea, do talk to us! By attending this event, you consent that you may be photographed and recorded on video. These photos and videos may be used for marketing and promotional purposes in the future.

One person will be selected on the night for a free entrepreneurship coaching session compliments of filipcoaches.com Hope to see you all on the night 🫶🏼 Until then keep growing!

**A Sunday morning for the things you keep meaning to do.** ​**Offline Morning** is part of OffMode’s July event series - slow social gatherings for people who want more from their free time than rushing, scrolling, and saying they’ll make time for their hobbies “soon.” ​The first part of the morning is yours. Read. Journal. Draw. Let your mind wander while enjoying your morning coffee. ​We’ll also have creative materials around the room so you can pick up something you’ve been meaning to return to. ​Then, the room opens. ​Games come out. Tables mix. Conversations start. The morning shifts from quiet solo time into warm, real-life energy. ​You might leave with a new friend, a calmer mind, a few pages read, a half-finished drawing, or just the rare feeling that your Sunday actually belonged to you. ## **How the morning unfolds:** ​**10:00am – 10:30am \| Arrive & get cosy** Lock your phone away and get cosy. ​**10:30am – 11:30am \| Connect with yourself** Read, journal, draw, write, think, relax, or do your own offline thing. ​**11:30am – 1:00pm \| Connect with others** This is where the morning shifts from quiet solo time into real-life connection. ​Think of conversations and games with people who also chose to spend their Sunday a little differently. ​**1:00pm – 1:30pm \| Wrap\-up** Get your phone back and enjoy the rest of your Sunday feeling a little more present and lighter. ​See you offline, ​*OffMode*

**A mid-week break for people who want more from Wednesday night than going home, zoning out, and calling it rest.** ​**Offline Night** is part of OffMode’s July event series - slow social gatherings for people who want more from their free time than rushing, scrolling, and saying they’ll make time for their hobbies “soon.” ​The first part of the night is yours. ​Read, journal, draw, do a crossword, sit with your thoughts, or simply enjoy a beer and let yourself relax. We’ll have creative materials around the room so you can pick up something you’ve been meaning to return to. ​Then, the room opens. ​Tables mix. Conversations start. The night gets louder, warmer, and a little more alive. ​Come alone. Come curious. Come as you are. **How the night unfolds:** ​**5:00pm – 5:30pm \| Arrive & get cosy** Lock your phone away, grab a beer, and ease out of the workday. ​**5:30pm – 6:30pm \| Connect with yourself** Read, journal, draw, write, think, relax, or do your own offline thing. ​**6:30pm – 7:30pm \| Connect with others** This is where the night comes alive - shared tables, connection games, and real conversations with people who also chose to spend their evening differently. ​**7:30pm – 8:00pm \| Wrap\-up** Get your phone back and head into the rest of your week feeling a little more present. ​See you offline, ​OffMode

**A mid-week escape with no distractions, new people, and good drinks.** ​ **Offline Night** is part of OffMode’s July event series - slow social gatherings for people who want more from their free time than rushing, scrolling, and saying they’ll make time for their hobbies “soon.” ​Think low lights, good drinks, shared tables, and easy conversations with people who also chose to spend their Thursday night differently. ​The night starts slow. ​Arrive, put your phone away, and step out of the week for a while. Read, journal, sketch, write, or simply do nothing and relax. We’ll have creative materials around if you feel like picking something up. ​Then, the room comes alive. ​Conversations start. Tables mix. Strangers become familiar. The night gets warmer, louder, and a little more unexpected - the way it does when people are actually in the room with each other. ​Come alone. Come curious. Come as you are. ​**A better mid-week ritual starts here.** ## How the night unfolds: ​**5:30pm – 5:45pm \| Arrive & settle in** Put your phone away, get cosy & grab a drink ​**6:00pm – 7:00pm \| Connect with yourself** Read the book you keep meaning to open. Journal. Sketch. Write. Explore a new hobby. This is time to slow down, rediscover your creativity, and remember what you enjoy when no one is asking you to be productive. ​**7:00pm – 8:00pm \| Connect with others** Join a game, follow a conversation, meet someone new. This part of the night is all about making connection feel easy - no pressure, just people in the same room choosing to be present. ​**8:00pm – 8:30pm \| Wrap\-up** Get your phone back and step into the rest of your week feeling lighter, calmer, and more present.
